You don't have to ship thru an ffl unless the buyer won't take it from an individual. Has to be through a contract carrier though. Just mailed one through fedex 2 weeks ago. Only law says it must be through contract carrier and overnighted.

He is shipping out of state cxjcherokec. As long as the receiving FFL accepts from a non-licensee, he is good to go..

As an FFL, I do not accept from non-licensee's unless they are standing in front of me in order to check ID.

That very well could be the case here.

I can read, I shipped mine to Alabama, and I already mentioned the receiving ffl has to accept from an individual. OP didn't state that as being an issue nor do I know if he's aware. Bringing it to light

As an FFL, I do not understand why some FFLs have this policy. We accept from individuals as long as a copy of their DL is included with shipment. Sometimes they forget and we remind the buyer that we need a copy of the sellers ID before the item can be transferred. We usually get it in a few minutes! There is no BATFE requirement (in TX) to verify identity of a firearm that you are taking in!
